A new coffee and wine bar is set to open at the Grand Rapids Downtown Market, taking over from Aperitivo Grand Rapids, which will close at the end of April. The new establishment, Squibb Coffee and Wine, aims to offer a unique blend of beverages and food inspired by traditional European cafes. This transition marks a significant change for the market, as Aperitivo has been a staple for over a decade.
• Aperitivo will close its doors after 12 years, opting not to renew its lease.
• Squibb Coffee and Wine will introduce a menu featuring coffee, tea, cheese, charcuterie, and small plates.
• The new bar will maintain a European cafe vibe, appealing to a diverse clientele.
• Aperitivo gift cards will expire at the end of April, and discounts on remaining inventory will be available.
This shift is important as it highlights the evolving landscape of local businesses, showcasing new opportunities for entrepreneurs. Squibb's opening represents a fresh start and a chance to continue the legacy of quality food and drink in the Downtown Market. The community can look forward to a new gathering place that embraces both tradition and innovation.
